Roger Sainsbury (born 11 June 1940) is a British civil engineer. He spent much of his career with the construction contractor Mowlem, including work on Immingham Oil Terminal and the Natwest Tower. He rose to become a director of the firm and was responsible for Mowlem’s participation in the creation of the Manchester Metro and for the company’s role as creator and developer of London City Airport. Sainsbury left Mowlem in December 1995 and subsequently devoted much time to the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), being president for the 1998-9 session. Sainsbury resigned his membership of the Institute in 2001, becoming the first president to take such a step, "because the way in which its affairs are conducted is, in my view, not compatible with its position of trust to its membership."[1] From March 2023, Roger has been a founder of the Deprived Pensioners Association, established to fight for justice for Pension Protection Fund (PPF) members lacking fair indexation.[2]
